The More Skillful The Performance

Miss Manners Herself, While Never Rude, Is Given To Pulling A Fast Pinch In The Way Of A Handshake On Those Who Believe In Kissing On, Not Even The First Date, But The First Sighting.

From Memorial Day To Labor Day, You May Wear White Shoes. Not Before And Not After. As A Command, The White Shoe Edict Should Be Clear And Simple Enough. Do Not Violate It. In A Society In Which Everything Else Has Become Relative, A Matter Of How It Makes You Feel, A Question Between You And Your Conscience, And An Opportunity For You To Be Really You, This Is An Absolute.

Everybody's An Art Critic.

Manners Require Showing Consideration Of All Human Beings, Not Just The Ones To Whom One Is Close.
